UNSPSC 50426845: Dried moo

The type of vegetable known as moo that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50426845 Dried moo, a Commodity code, encompasses dried legumes and pulses procured by state and local governments to support institutional food service operations, particularly school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and child care services. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show active procurement of dried pinto beans, red beans, and similar staple proteins for bulk consumption. The issuing bodies are predominantly state departments of corrections and school districts (including independent districts and county systems), with occasional activity from state procurement divisions acting on behalf of multiple agencies and city governments operating child nutrition programs.

Oregon Department of Corrections and Texas Department of Criminal Justice have each issued multiple invitations for bid on dried beans in recent months—ODOC solicited 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (ITB S2910000017140, due June 19, 2026) and separately 127,500 pounds of dried pinto beans (ITB S2910000016233, due March 20, 2026)—while the City of Edinburg, Texas, included dried legumes within a broader CACFP meal program procurement (RFP 2026017, due August 4, 2026). School districts in Missouri and Georgia have similarly incorporated dried beans into annual grocery and food supply contracts. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Oregon, Georgia, and Missouri, with Oregon's procurement office applying a combined 10 percent evaluation preference for goods fabricated or processed entirely in Oregon and for bidders headquartered in Oregon. Pricing references from recent awards show historical rates of $0.43 to $0.493 per pound, with deliveries required FOB destination on palletized loads, triple-cleaned to U.S. No. 2 or better grade, and minimum one-year shelf life. Most solicitations allow bidding on partial quantities and evaluate awards based on lowest responsive, responsible bidder with no set-asides noted for disadvantaged enterprises.
